Bread is not a food I can eat anymore. Since giving up sugar and processed foods I found that I could no longer eat bread. To be honest I don’t really miss it but occasionally I wish I could have maybe a slice or two for my breakfast or lunch. The one bread I did really miss was garlic bread. I used to love my dad’s Saturday night minestrone soup and garlic bread. It was such a tasty meal.
Therefore I decided to make my own version of garlic bread. I used quinoa and oats as the flour and a couple of eggs to bind the mixture. It was so delicious that I started making other versions of this bread too. Then I brought millet. I started cooking this grain to go with stews and curries. The millet was so yummy that I thought I’d make it into a bread too. Except this time I add turmeric and black pepper to the mixture. It was such a good way to use the millet and one I will be baking again soon.

Turmeric Seeded Millet Bread was a hit with me. My husband Howard and son Ted both eat bread. If I bake a bread like this one they normally leave me to eat it. I sliced the loaf and put it into bags of 2 slices for me to have on another occasion. All the ingredients in this bread are freezable. When I first baked this bread I ate it with avocado and egg on. On another occasion I ate it with soup and finally I also tired it with sardines too. These were great meals on a lovely loaf. However you decide to eat this loaf, as always, please enjoy.
